202K0

This book is Professor Hu Sui's masterpiece on the study of late Tang poetry. This book describes the relationship between the five types of late Tang Dynasty poems: nostalgic poems, nostalgic poems, seclusion poems, Zen poems, and reward poems, and Buddhism. It then puts forward the influence of Buddhism on the survival, history, reality, spirit, and personality of the late Tang poets, and comprehensively displays the bumpy life of the late Tang poets who "were vain of their vast talents and never had the ambition to open up their minds in life." At the same time, from multiple perspectives such as sentimentality of survival, reflection on history, avoidance of reality, spiritual conversion, and personality assertion, a more specific discussion was made on the influence and penetration of Buddhism on late Tang poetry, a literary phenomenon.
